'Or else' what Art?...certainly not to be argumentative here at
all but there's some questions in my mind. You say that there's
no way to drop with your bombs on safe because the 'powers that
be' were worried that bombs might get dropped unarmed so removed
the possibility. So what's this about 'coming home with less than
8 arming wires'?, how could you do that?.

Another question, Dave Holford asked about jettisoning your load
'live' in friendly territory if you had a problem shortly after
T.O. and you quoted a story which has no relation to that
problem.

Please understand that I'm NOT trying to trick you or anything
but having an analytical mind these things bother me...can you
help?.
